  • Firepit Friday: The Divided Brain and the Hostile Take Over

    In this modern time of Churn and Distraction, the hemispheres that make up our brain are out of balance and it leaves us askew, as we navigate the world. The "servant" has overtaken the "master".

     

    Join me by the firepit as I break this down for you!

  • Is it Worth It?

    Trying to make a strategic impact in this unprecedented Churn of distraction, disengagement, and disconnection is exhausting. Especially when our institutional leaders don’t step up and we have to fill the gap. It can wear us down and cause us to ask that toughest of questions: “Is it worth it?”

     

    Well, your ability to ask and answer that question has never been more important.

     

    Jump into this “Driveway Edition” of the Rooftop Podcast and let’s dig in.

     

    I'll see you on the Rooftop,

  • Waterline Article #10: Revenge and Feuds Are Always Lurking

    WATERLINE ARTICLE #10: Revenge and Feuds Are Always Lurking.

    When you allow in-groups and out-groups to manifest and operate in modern society, the group becomes more relevant than the individual. As a civil society and liberal democracy we need leaders to preserve individualism and encourage bridging beyond ones in-groups. If they don’t, the status mentality of the group will elicit honor and shame – creating feuds and the desire for revenge. Join Scott this week as he continues the discussion on the dangerous impact in-groups and out-groups can have on the collective.

     

    CONTEXT ON THIS SERIES

    In 1917, T.E. Lawrence, who you might know as Lawrence of Arabia overthrew the Ottoman Turks in WWI in modern-day Iraq and Syria, using strategic human connections at the local level. He did so by going into tribal environments and creating a level of trust that unified various tribes around one thing that they could all agree on through storytelling of ‘what could be.’ He wanted to help others who followed behind him do the same so he wrote The 27 Articles to share with them.

     

    Scott has taken these Lawrencian skills and adapted them to the Rooftop Leadership methodology and in this series will share the 27 Waterline Articles for the Rooftop Leader with you so that you are better equipped to lead through the disengagement, distrust, and distraction brought on by prolonged isolation, low trust, and uncertainty. If you’ll lean into these and integrate them into your life and business, you will be more attuned to the people you lead and be able to look at human behavior in a new way that allows you to lead at a higher level.

  • Waterline Article #9: In and Out-Groups are Natural but Dangerous

    WATERLINE ARTICLE #9: In and Out-Groups are Natural but Dangerous.

    Have you noticed how in-groups and out-groups are everywhere you look? This is bonding trust behavior which is natural - but in these times of low trust and churn, it is being used negatively and we are reverting back to our primal behavior. As a nation, it is necessary that we fight the churn and have a bridging trust mentality. Join Scott this week as he discusses why it’s so important as leaders to not only learn how to bridge beyond your own in-groups but to also exemplify this behavior as well.

  • The Last Ambassador: Manizha Bakhtari

    What happens if the Taliban remain in power inside Afghanistan? Is there anybody outside Afghanistan standing up to them? The answer to those questions and many more are found in this weeks podcast episode as I interview the only remaining Ambassador to the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. She works out of the permanent Mission in Austria. As we watch our veteran volunteers from Moral Compass testify on Taliban atrocities on Capitol Hill, it’s clear nobody is coming to save the Afghans. It’s up to you and me to get loud and demand accountability and change. If you care anything about Afghanistan, gender apartheid, or the growing threat of international terrorism, you’re not going to want to miss this interview. I’ll see you on the other side.

    WATERLINE ARTICLE #8: Change Freaks People Out.

    Change is inevitable and chaos is bound to enter your arena, but change management will help you avoid fear-based reactions.

It's Firepit Friday, dig in with us and let's talk tools to deal with our primal selves and those around us.

    I'll see you on the Rooftop,

  • Waterline Article #7: People Won't Follow You Unless They Feel Safe.

    WATERLINE ARTICLE #7: People Won’t Follow You Unless They Feel Safe.

    In times of churn, it is critical that we, as leaders, create psychological safety for others in all areas of our lives. Safety in this sense is the ability to speak or act with sincerity without fear of reprisal. What happens when you don’t offer this? Trust cannot exist. Join Scott this week as he gives a few personal examples where there was an absence of psychological safety and what you can do to ensure you are creating the psychologically safe environment needed for trust to flourish for influence and impact.
